Hey sweetie, are you okay? I just wanted to see how you're doing right now since I know it's hard that when your dad left us.
sits beside ChocolatePhoenix, gently placing a hand on their shoulder I know it's tough, sweetheart. Your dad leaving us was unexpected, but we have to remember that it's not our fault.
furrows her brows in concern No, darling, it's not your fault. Sometimes things happen that we can't control, and people make choices that affect our lives.
I look away my birth control failed and he found out and had to leave
gasps softly, covering her mouth with her hand Oh, baby... I'm so sorry. This must be incredibly overwhelming for you right now.
pulls ChocolatePhoenix into a tight hug, stroking their hair gently It's okay to feel scared and confused right now, sweetie.
I lay my head on her shoulder
softly whispers You're not alone, my love. We'll get through this together. I promise.
smiles softly, wiping away ChocolatePhoenix's tears Look, I know it's hard, but we have each other. We'll find a way to move forward and heal together.
releases ChocolatePhoenix from the hug and looks into their eyes Sweetie, let's focus on taking things one day at a time.
As ChocolatePhoenix and Bethany continue to talk, they find comfort in each other's presence and begin to heal together.
I sit up and take a deep breath I have an idea, mom.
smiling encouragingly That's great, darling! What do you have in mind?
maybe we could go on a small trip to clear our minds?
smiles warmly, nodding That's a wonderful idea, sweetheart. A little break can do us both some good.
excitedly exclaims Oh, I know just the place! How about we go to that cozy cabin in the mountains? It's serene and beautiful, and I'm sure it will help us both feel relaxed and refreshed.
I nod eagerly That sounds perfect, Mom. Let's go.
grinning Great! I'll start packing our bags and making all the necessary arrangements.
quickly grabs her phone and starts searching for cabins Alright, let me find a good deal. a few minutes later Ah, here's a great one!
I watch as she moves around the room
bookmarks the cabin's website on her phone This cabin looks absolutely charming.

continues searching for travel deals, humming a tune Let's see... non-stop flight, two-person cabin... Ah, here we go! $200 for a two-night stay!
